At least now they have shown their hand early and we can probably be certain that this is the best they will come up with. We can now compare like with like when looking at other options outside the sandpit. The sad thing is that they are probably tapping themselves on the back thinking what a great package it is which just proves how out of touch they really are. And as for AAR 'reviewing' the other parts of 'the package', remember the last review he did? Nothing changed.
They could, just could have asked US for our opinions in an attempt to come up with something resembling a more constructive package.
I think that this will prove to be own goal for EK.
